CHAPTER 299: CHAPTER 299: THEY’VE CHANGED LOCATIONS

The cleaning staff immediately came to tidy up, but it was useless. Those who witnessed the scene were still scared.

Xiao Li walked directly to the nurse’s station, and the nurse took her to get the patient upon seeing her arrival.

After meeting the patient and understanding the patient’s condition, Xiao Li took the patient back to the department.

In H Country, Qin Xiao, who had a restless sleep all night, woke up early.

Without Xiao Li by his side, he couldn’t sleep well.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Qin Xiao started to get busy.

He originally came to buy equipment, but after the incident last night, he had another matter to attend to.

In the bar, Shanye and Rui Lita sat across from each other, "Rui Lita, you messed up already, do you think your partners will succeed today?"

Rui Lita’s blue eyes flickered slightly, "It’s hard to say!"

When she received the order yesterday, she was full of confidence, but she didn’t expect to fail.

The man wasn’t swayed by her Charm Technique, indicating he wasn’t a simple person. Now she had alerted him, making today’s action truly unpredictable.

Rui Lita was the top female assassin in their Mercenary Group, but she relied on her charm, sneaking up on people while they were unprepared.

If it came to force, she wouldn’t rank very high.

Furthermore, the two people in action today were both sharpshooters. It was uncertain how things would turn out with their involvement.

At the hotel entrance, Qin Xiao, dressed in a suit, stepped out. Before getting into the car, he sensed a glint of light and immediately retreated.

As he retreated, someone fell down where he had been standing!

The people protecting Qin Xiao immediately realized there was a sniper across the way and quickly drew their pistols for protection.

People above the hotel also began searching for the sniper’s location.

Qin Xiao returned to the hotel and directly took the elevator back upstairs.

He had already anticipated problems with today’s outing, so he contacted Woer Company’s representative earlier to reschedule the meeting.

The reason he went out was because he knew someone would try to act today, so he purposely acted as bait.

Outside, it was a rain of bullets, while inside the hotel lobby, people leisurely sipped coffee and chatted.

People in this country were quite accustomed to unexpected shootouts!

Even the glass used in the hotel lobby was bulletproof, so no matter how fierce the outside was, those inside were indifferent.

After a while, the gunfire ceased, and two more corpses appeared on the rooftop of the building opposite.

In his suite, Qin Xiao looked through his binoculars and saw someone enter, "Second Master, it’s settled."

Qin Xiao nodded, "Have you found the Mercenary Group’s base?"

"Yes, it’s a bar! Our people went there, but it was already empty."

Qin Xiao smirked, "They changed locations. Looks like we need to be careful."

At the port, Shanye with Rui Lita, sat on a speedboat drinking. Upon hearing that their men failed, he immediately had the speedboat set off.

The speedboat headed straight towards the small island in the middle of the sea.

Back home, Xiao Li was conducting examinations. It had been an unusually restless night, with several patients sent to the emergency room in the second half of the night, requiring more beds.

After daybreak, when Li Mei saw Xiao Li, she immediately asked, "Xiao Li, the night shift nurse told me you were busy all night again. You must be exhausted!"

Xiao Li shook her head, "I dozed off a bit in the first half of the night. I’m mostly tired, just a bit worried."

"Worried? About what?"

"Many of the patients admitted last night have flu-like symptoms, and I’m afraid of an influenza outbreak.

You know from our past pandemic experience, I’m particularly sensitive to such symptoms appearing in large numbers!" Xiao Li expressed with concern.

Li Mei swallowed nervously, "No way! This is..."

Xiao Li gently patted her, "It’s just my own worry. Don’t be too scared, but make sure to tell your team to take all precautions.

We work in the respiratory department, and protection is paramount."

Li Mei nodded, "Exactly, it’s better to be safe than sorry. You should also remind your brother, so the day shift doctors stay alert today."

Xiao Li nodded, "I know. I’ll mention it during the morning meeting."

During the morning meeting, Xiao Li presented last night’s patient situation. Bai Yu first focused on the patient who passed away, and Xiao Li explained the cause of death.

Bai Yu then inquired about the later admitted patients. Xiao Li shared her suspicion, "Several patients had identical conditions, and the blood test results were the same. I suspect it might be influenza.

Day shift doctors need to be extra attentive to the situation."

The senior doctors in the office were a bit silent after hearing this, not needing to state things too explicitly.

After the handover, everyone dispersed.

Li Mei followed Xiao Li outside, "Xiao Li, with Qin Xiao on a business trip, how will you commute?"

Xiao Li smiled, "The driver will pick me up."

"It’s good to have someone pick you up. You should hurry home and rest."

"Yes, I’ll leave after changing my clothes."

Xiao Li and Yue Wenwen changed clothes together and walked out of the hospital. Upon splitting up, Xiao Li remembered she had arranged for someone to protect Yue Wenwen, so she should mention it to avoid any misunderstandings.

"Wenwen, I need to tell you something."

"What’s up, sister?"

"Well, it’s like this. Your brother used to have dealings with some foreign mercenaries and even captured two before he passed. I’m worried these people or their gang might still be active, so I arranged for someone to protect you."

Xiao Li called Feng Ye over and asked him to introduce the two people protecting Yue Wenwen so she could recognize them and avoid any mishaps.

Seeing them, Yue Wenwen was astonished, assuming they had been protecting her all along after hearing Xiao Li’s explanation.

"Sister, you’ve been too good to me! Haven’t these two been protecting me for too long already? Seems like things are normal now. Can’t we just stop this protection?" Yue Wenwen said.

Knowing Yue Wenwen had misunderstood, Xiao Li decided it was for the best, which was why she had been vague initially.

"I didn’t mean to withdraw them; I wanted you to recognize them, so if anything happens, you’ll know to call for help. There are people around you for protection.

Additionally, Mercenary Group’s people are very patient. It hasn’t been that long, so better to stay cautious.

Alright, you can head home. I need to go home and rest too."

As Xiao Li left, Yue Wenwen had no choice but to allow the continued protection.

"Um... will the two of you keep following me around?" Yue Wenwen asked the two young men in suits.

One of them replied, "We’ll be following you from the shadows. We won’t interfere with Miss Yue’s life."

Yue Wenwen smiled, "Haha... thank you!"
